On the other hand, the operator [[PSI].sub.k] : [U.sub.k] [right arrow] [U.sub.k] is completely continuous by Lemma 10; then by Schauder's fixed-point Theorem 11, each problem of (1)-(3) has a solution.
(4) In the paper titled "Existence of Solutions for a Class of Coupled Fractional Differential Systems with Nonlocal Boundary Conditions," by applying Schauder fixed-point theorem and Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative theory, the authors were concerned with the existence of solutions to coupled fractional differential systems with fractional integral boundary value conditions.
Motivated by the methods of [21-23] and the above works, we study the criteria of three positive solutions for a Caputo fractional q-difference equation with integral boundary value conditions by employing properties of Green's function and the Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem in this paper.

Hence, by the Krasnoselkii fixed-point theorem (Theorem 2.7), we can conclude that P has a fixed point z on [B.sub.r].
By using the Guo-Krasnoselskii fixed-point theorem, Jin and Yin [9] proved the existence of one positive solutions for the following boundary value problem of one-dimensional p-Laplacian with delay
